posted on 2011-08-18, 11:40 authored by Heidi Hanssens, Ben Derudder, Peter J. Taylor, Michael HoylerMichael Hoyler, Pengfei Ni, Jin Huang, Xiaolan Yang, Frank WitloxThis empirical paper maps changes in the global geography of advanced
producer service provision across major cities in the 2000-2008 period. The
analyses are based on a systematic assessment of geographical shifts in the
office networks of leading firms in finance, management consultancy,
accountancy, advertising and law, using measures of inter-city connectivity. It
has been previously shown that there has been a general shift of these
services from ‘West to East’. In this paper, variations in the degree and
pattern of this global shift among the different sectors are described and
interpreted. The results point to an inherent complexity in economic
globalization that is sometimes overlooked in general descriptions of the
meta-process.
